A perfect spring day in the Forest of Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. A visit with a lovely little Summer Tanager who sang to us between catching and eating insects. Cool breezes piercing the humidity along each trail . Butterflies and Wildflowers decorating our journey across the mountains.

Melting in the heat and humidity of the Rainforest is a cleansing experience. Toxins leave the body and Soul with each drenched step up the mountain side. I am bathed in the light rising up through the Trees as the sweet song of a Scarlet Tanager revives my Soul.

This beautiful juvenile male Summer Tanager landed on a branch overhead. He proceeded to show off his breakfast catch and sang a lovely song before flying deeper into the Forest. Soon he will resemble the lovely adult male Summer Tanager pictured below.
